Series I, LJT Breakaway Fail Safe
Quick-Disconnect with Axial Pull of Lanyard
Amphenol LJT Breakaway Fail Safe Connectors provide unequaled
performance in environments requiring instant disengagement.
Designed to provide quick disconnect of a connector plug and
receptacle with an axial pull on the lanyard, the “Breakaway” Fail Safe
connector family offers a wide range of electrical and
mechanical features:
• Instant decoupling and damage free separation
• Completely intermateable with standard LJT receptacles
• Inventory support commonality through the use of standard
insert arrangements and contacts
Breakaway un-mating is initiated by applying a pull force to the
lanyard which causes the operating sleeve on the plug to move away
from the receptacle. Coupling segments on the plug then move away
from the mating receptacle while expanding, thus releasing the recep-
tacle. After completion of the un-mating sequence, spring compression
returns the sleeve and segments to their original positions. Un-mating of
the plug may also be accomplished by normal rotation of the coupling
ring without affecting the breakaway capability.
The LJT Breakaway Fail Safe connector features which provide EMI EMP
shielding in excess of MIL-DTL-38999 Series I requirements:
• Solid metal-to-metal coupling
• EMI grounding fingers
• Conductive finishes
Contact Amphenol Aerospace for more information on breakaway,
quick-disconnect connectors. Other Amphenol cylindrical families
(MIL-DTL-38999 Series III, MIL-DTL-26482, MIL-DTL-83723) also offer
breakaway quick-disconnect connectors.

Custom JT Series Breakaway designs have been
developed for special applications; however the LJT
Series is recommended over the JT Series for the
quick-disconnect breakaway style.
